Arjun Tendulkar picked in Mumbai U-19 team

MUMBAI: Batting legend Sachin Tendulkar's son Arjun's growth as a professional cricketer received a boost when he was picked in the Mumbai team for the JY Lele All India Under-19 Invitational One Day Tournament on Saturday.

The 17-year-old left-arm pacer was in the news a couple of months back when he delivered a well-directed yorker to send England batting mainstay Jonny Bairstow hobbling off from the nets at Lord's. Arjun has played for Mumbai at the under-14 and U-16 level.

The event will be played from September 16-23 at Baroda.Squad: Agni Chopra, Divyansh Saxena, Bhupen Lalwani, Anjdeep Lad, Sagar Chabaria, Shoeb Khan, Satyalaksha Jain, Vedant Murkar, Dhruv Brid, Tanush Kotian, Nakul Mehta, Farhan Kazi, Atharva Ankolekar, Abhimanyu Vashisht,
